Two Different Realities

When the last President Bush was in office, senior citizen members of activist groups complained that they were getting "chicken feed" in their cost of living allowance increases that were tied to the rate of inflation. The larger checks were called an insult to seniors by the dinosaur media. Now, under Obama, Social Security recipients will not even receive this- there will be no c.o.l.a. at all this year, only a pittance of a single $250 check, but because a Democrat is in office, the senior activist groups and the old-line media will only remark on Obama's generosity and beneficence, singing his praises, while if Bush were still President, they would say he was starving our most vulnerable citizens and demand Bush provide those who had paid in to the system their entire lives and sacrificed so much for the country be given the dignity of their golden years and given meaningful subsidies from our government. In the hands of our liberal propagandist dinosaur media and leftist so-called non-partisan activist groups, Democrats are praised when in the very same circumstances, Republicans would be damned.
